Looking to do my first 70.3 . Thinking about doing it on this . What’s it worth ?

Hi I'm seeking some advice on where and what I should be looking for, for my mother. She has a bad history with bicycling but wanted to try again after seeing a recline tricycle. Not that she wants one that is reclined specifically, but we're in a bit of a issue with it.

I know how hard it was for me to get a bicycle for myself at my height (5' flat) she's even shorter at 4'7". Now I am wondering if a child's tricycle would be good for her, but she is also heavier set. Honestly I am lost where to begin looking for a trike for her.

She just wants to get some exercise in on trails and conquer a small fear she has of bikes. She does have back issues and leg issues and already does walking with us, she just wants to try something new too.

Hi! I narrowed my search for a new budget hardtail to 3 bikes but I need help choosing one of them. The bikes in question are the Cube Reaction Pro 2025 , Merida big Trail 500 and Mondraker Chrono DC. Here's the link to 99spokes website:

(Ignore the prices since I found all the 3 bikes at 1000$ at different sellers)

I am an amateur mtb-er. I currently have a cheap Rockrider, but I've been looking for a while to replace it. I want to ride Mountain Downhill trails, xc trails, jump lines, and also urban mtb like stairs and drops. I like the 120 and 140 forks on the Merida and Mondraker, but the Cube has a better drivetrain overall, which won't need to much money spent on. All the brakes, though, are not that good, maybe I will get some XT M8100's in the future. Thanks for your time!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to upgrade from my current bike, a 2012 Specialized Roubaix Pro, and I’d love some advice on what to look for. My main goal is to get something that feels fast (if it looks fast, that’s a bonus!) Although I’m assuming that any modern race-oriented bike will feel like a big upgrade compared to my current ride…

I mostly ride solo, mixing long endurance rides with some faster-paced efforts. I live in an area with plenty of rolling hills but no real mountains. My FTP is 264 watts (4 w/kg), and while I don’t race, I’m hoping to start joining group rides next year and want something fun, fast, and performance focused.

Budget: My max budget is £3000, though I’d rather spend less if possible. I’m open to second hand options and am considering bikes like Giant TCRs under £2000, with room to upgrade to some fast carbon wheels later if needed.

I’m also thinking I’d prefer something with racier geometry than my current Roubaix, which feels a bit too relaxed at times.

What approach would you recommend, and what bikes should I be looking at?

Thanks in advance!

I am looking to switch from a road bike to a gravel bike, living in The Netherlands at the moment. My budget is up to 1500€, but preferably around the 1000€ range. A second hand bicycle would be great, but from initial research it seems that they're not easy to find in my area, and I would like to see them in person before buying.

The bicycle would be used for shorter and longer day rides, 2 - 3 day rides, and hopefully in the future cycling holidays through Europe. Regarding specifications, I ideally like the following:

• Steel frame
• Hydraulic brakes
• 2 - 3 mounting holes in the front and 1 in the back

I realise this might be a lot to ask, so I'm willing to go for an aluminium frame or mechanical brakes. Right now, the following bikes are on my list:

• Canyon Grizl 6 (aluminium frame, heard repairability and customer service is lacking)
• Trek Checkpoint ALR 4 (aluminium frame)
• Kona Rove (mechanical brakes)
• Marin Nicasio (mechanical brakes)
• Cube Nuroad Ex (aluminium frame, no mounting holes in the back)

Right now I am most enthusiastic about the Marin, however I read on Reddit that when going downhill with bags the brakes might not hold up. I have the same fear for the Kona.

Are there any models missing that I should look at? Also, happy to hear advice on any of the above listed bikes! :)

Hi everyone, can I get some tips on how to identify if a brompton bike is stolen? I am looking to get my first brompton as used due to the pricing of brand new, is there a website or database i can check, i have been reading threads and some mentioned it has serials which could be a reference in case it is stolen,

Any help would be very much appreciated

Buying a used bike, can't decide which one. Will be used in triathlons (up to 70.3) and also for work commutes. Fairly new to road bikes so it's hard for me to judge the value I'm getting and if there are any concerns with the bikes. Opinions are much appreciated!

Long shot I know but can anyone identify this bike? or suggest anywhere that would be able to i.d it’s make etc! I could not see any branding on it.

Ok, so, I have six kids. When my 17yo daughter was first learning we tried a crap-Toys-R-Us bike and after a couple days switched to a higher end “Specialized” bike, which was awesome. We ended up buying each kid a very expensive Specialized bike. Now, my local shops only cary Trek.

BUT, I just can afford these prices anymore. $600 for a kids bike is just crazy… especially when I have a bunch of kids.

So, I went looking at store bikes. But, I am afraid of getting a crap bike.

Thoughts?

I want to buy a gravel bike. I've tried the Cannondale Topstone and the Trek Checkpoint. I like the Topstone better because I don't feel as stretched forward compared to the Checkpoint. Does anyone have suggestions for other bikes with a similar geometry that I should look at besides the Topstone?
